IT TIME TO STOP GLOBALWARMING!
Monday, March 24, 2008
people!! this is very serious!!
WE have to stop global warming!!!
RIGHT NOW!
think of this
at 1 degree warmer
shortages in grain and meat markets
at 2 degrees wamer
coral reef dies off
at 3 degrees warmer
sandstorms over paris
at 4 degrees warmer
new york completely submergered
at 5 degrees warmer
climate refugees fight over scarce resources
at 6 degrees warmer
the world resembles the cretaceous period
cretaceous is noting or pertaining to a period of the Mesozoic Era, from 140 million to 65 million years ago, characterized by the greatest development and subsequent extinction of dinosaurs and the advent of flowering plants and modern insects.
scientists say that we are still 50-60 years till 6 degrees warmer
but at the rate that technology is improving
it will be less!!
even if we die 60 years later
what about our children and your grand children?
do you really think that it is fair for them to die at 20 or 30 years of age?
and what about he little ones?
they might not even reach the age of ten when they pass away.
backpackers or those who inspire to be one,
do you really want to back pack aorund places where there is sand and water only
and put yourself in danger of being hit by a thunderstorm or cyclone?
you might think
even if we start now, we cant do much on our own!
yes it is true
but if we can spread this message around.
it will be more than ourselves,
it will be US thats trying to save the world.
US trying our best to do what we can
in which other people's eyes are redundant and unstoppable
GLOBAL WARMING IS STOPPABLE
this is very serious!!
if we could just,
switch off that powerpoint,
not take that plastic bag,
turn off the lights,
turn up the temperature
or even take a shorter shower,
it could help!
please!
saving the environment means saving ourselves
and it is very critical for us to stop global warming,
because. if we dont
our extinction will be only decades away.
not centuries, not millenniums
but decades.
here are some ways to kickstart your plan to save the world! :D
People should reduce the usage of electrical appliances which emits green house gases.For e.g. the refrigerator releases chloro fluro carbon (CFC) and the incandescent light lamp emits 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. This can be replaced by a compact fluorescent light bulb which saves much energy.
Follow RRR-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.People should not dump waste products in the ground. Plant products, food waste, vegetable dump undergoes anaerobic decomposition i.e. they break down to produce methane, a green house gas instead of oxygen. Hence the product usage and wastage should be reduced or recycled for a healthy atmosphere.
Trees absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide.Many trees should be planted since they involve in photosynthesis, food preparation with the help of sunlight. During this process, trees absorb carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Also, existing forests should be saved and usage of plant byproducts shouldn’t be wasted.
Usage of green power prevents 300 kg of carbon dioxide to be emitted into the atmosphere.The electricity obtained from the renewable resources like wind and water is called green power. The cost is also low in case of green power.
Insulation of the ceiling of a house and power saving is the important factor to reduce global warming. The electric appliances should be switched off instead to hold it in stand by mode. This will save more power since stand by mode consumes 40% of the energy.
People should use only energy efficient appliances. Thermostat should be used for air conditioners since it reduces the temperature automatically.
Consumption of organic food should be increased because organic soil absorb large amount of carbon dioxide. Buying local food reduces the consumption of fuel. Cows emits large amount of methane due to their vegetarian diet. Hence meat consumption should be reduced. Also tetra packs should be used instead of tinned food.
Periodic maintenance of the vehicles helps in efficient usage of fuel and reduces release of green house gases. Proper inflation of tyres should be done and fuel wastage should be avoided.
Teach your neighborhood and friendsabout the cause and impacts of global warming and methods to reduce it. Conservation of forests also forms a factor to reduce global warming.
the seriousness of global warming is obvious to us but we are adamant to it!
mother nature is fighting back!
we have to do something before it is too late!!
